About the book (from the dust jacket)
Jerry Barnes was an inventor (Top Secret-Keep Out, it said on the door of his laboratory), and the surprising success of his jet-propelled wagon was proof of it, as even his friend Vic had to admit. But when W. Huntly Lankersham, Esq. came to town Jerry was obviously outclassed.
The bright-eyed little man arrived in a weird looking car that was also a five room apartment, and set up shop to build a fascinating and mysterious machine that would benefit all of mankind.
Jerry and Vic decided to help Lankersham and in doing so had wild and wonderful adventures as they tangled with air force protocol, strange and vicious tramps, played a part in the completion of the mysterious machine, and watched with suspense as it was finally unveiled This is a humorous and exciting story for boys, and the fast-paced text and lively illustrations show Jerry to be as jet-propelled as his own inventions.
